They're not modifying the game files at all which is why SE can't really do anything about them. It would be like banning someone for using discord because it makes communicating easier than the vanilla game provides.
Oh, I wasn't aware that the game actually saved files containing battle logs that were available somewhere. Thought that information came strictly from the 3rd party software interacting with the client.
